早期识别自闭症谱系障碍（ASD）现在被认为是发育障碍领域的最佳做法。尽管国家儿科组织和其他机构呼吁对幼儿进行常规筛查，但这些建议在实践中很难实施。尚未解决的主要问题之一是需要提供相关灵敏度和特异性的精密诊断仪器来完成这项任务。我们报告了在1007个年龄在17-37个月的“高危”儿童样本中，孤独症儿童婴幼儿筛查（BISCUIT）在帮助诊断孤独症和广泛性发育障碍（PDD-NOS）方面的应用。2009爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Early identification of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is now considered best practice in the field of developmental disabilities. Despite calls by national pediatric organizations and others for routine screening in young children, such recommendations have been hard to implement in practice. One of the major unresolved problems is the need for refined diagnostic instruments that provide relevant sensitivity and specificity to accomplish this task. We report on the utility of the Baby and Infant Screen for Children with aUtIsm Traits (BISCUIT) for assisting in autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder-Not Otherwise Specified (PDD-NOS) diagnoses in a sample of 1007 "at risk" children ages 17-37 months.
